God has used several different ministry opportunities in equipping me to serve Him. These include youth ministry, summer camps, interim roles, and pastoral positions, which have placed me in a variety of settings. Alongside ministry roles, educational achievements have been met as well.

My heart for ministry is truly centered on lifestyle evangelism. As pastor, my goal is to provide an atmosphere where evangelism is encouraged and modeled. Evangelism does not conflict with discipleship but rather gives discipleship fuel and drive to produce more disciples that reproduce disciples.

That is a little about me. I look forward to getting to know you and how God is working in your life.

Scott Kallem, Pastor
